Is the use of biosensor in monitoring food quality experiencing an uplift trend over the last 30 years?: A bibliometric analysis.
Review in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Recently, there has been intense competition among food industries worldwide as they strive to fulfill the ever-growing consumer expectations regarding both the quantity and quality of food. The increasing demand for high-quality food has motivated researchers and academics to constantly innovate and develop real-time and precise tools for monitoring food quality. One such tool that has emerged is biosensors, which have already been widely investigated; however, no bibliometric reviews have discussed biosensor use holistically, comprehensively, and objectively. Therefore, this review aimed to analyze the trend of biosensor publications for monitoring food quality based on the number of documents published from 1991 to 2021, analyze the contribution of various journals, institutions, and cooperation between countries, highlight the most influential authors and articles, and predict the development of this topic. The Method used in this study is bibliometric analysis which consists of four stages, namely data mining from the Scopus database which are limited to data for the last 30 years (1991-2021), refining data, data visualization and interpretation data. There are 604 articles obtained from Scopus and visualization shows that biosensor use for monitoring food quality has significantly increased in the past three decades. Biosensors and Bioelectronics is the leading journal in publishing manuscripts on the topic of biosensors. In terms of the largest contribution, China produced the highest number of publications on related topics, while the United States has the highest collaborations between countries. Moreover, Whitcombe MJ has the most influential articles, while Wang S had the largest number of outputs. The frequently used keywords are "biosensors," "food safety," and "food analysis." These results are important references to determine the state of the art and directions for further investigations.
